Dark Souls series is on sale for steam, ending in under two hours. I've never played a single FromSoft game because they don't really interest me, do they live up to the hype?
>>748832231you had 20 years to play it, don't buy games you aren't gonna play
>>748832231>Dark Souls series is on sale for steam, ending in under two hours.So? Unless it's more than 50% off I don't care. Fromsoft hasn't done a good sale since 2021. They got greedy just like RGG.
>>748834235So... don't buy it?
>>748835031So... don't make this thread.
>>748835096Sorry for talking about video games instead of gamergate and twitter drama, nigger.
>>748835143>gamergate and twitter out of nowhereNice self report faggot
>>748832231The first one is one of the best games ever and the other two suck
>>748832231My advice is to just buy the first Dark Souls, and just play it, without any particular expectations, ignoring anything the community say as much as you can and going into the game like you're a kid without a guidebook or message boards to help you. Do not let people spoil it for you and don't let anyone judge you for how you end up experiencing it.
>>748832231>they don't really interest me>do they live up to the hype?If they don't interest you then why do you care about the hype? If you aren't interested in a game you aren't obligated to play it just because everyone else had.
Just play dark souls 2 you'll love it.
>>748832231fuck no, I fell for this too and bought the trilogy for like $5 or whatever but it's not fun at all. If you like slowly stomping around and slowly attacking and getting killed for bullshit reasons and long walkbacks after getting killed for bullshit then this might be the game for you. All the wankery about level design and exploration falls flat when the reward is always just more slow ass combat.
>>748832231I already owned DS1 and got 2 and 3 when the sale begun, currently nearing the end of 2 and I can say its worth it, gets way more hate than it deserves.
>>748832231You will get filtered and keep trying to git gud or get owned by the bell gargoyles and go to /v/ and bitch an entire paragraph thread about how its "the most overrated game ever" after being a total fucking scrub
Dark Souls is literally a troll game that redditors have convinced each other is some sort of badge of honor. There is no inherent enjoyment to be found in playing these games.
>>748832231Why are DS2 players like this?https://files.catbox.moe/3gzsjj.mp4
>>748836743cant open your link bro
OP, you will either decide that grinding and practicing and learning patterns and timings in a single player game is a waste of time or if you stick it out and work hard, you could end up like this guy>>748836671
>>748836834Eh catbox sucks if I posted another link it'd be redundant
>>748832231Not really, no. They're not bad, but they're nothing particularly special either. They're also surprisingly easy.
If you want to pretend that patience and memorization is skill then you should play them and then act superior to everyone else for having done so.
>>748836834Probably because he posted cp
>>748837087grim
>>748837087Catbox just fucks up sometimes. Also mobile doesn't always work either. That's a heavy accusation based on nothing.
>>748836671>>748836861my main issue is the fact you apparently can't pause the game properly. is that a real issue?
>>748837087>cp
>>748837281yes, the games are originally made to be played online, even if you are offline, there's no pause button. You only "pause" at bonfires
>>748837241Zoomers are obsessed with child porn and accuse everyone of being a pedophile (which is a projection)
>>748837397gayi'll probably let this sale pass then
>>748832231Is it worth getting the remaster over the Prepare to Die edition? Or is it a Demons Souls situation where it's shit and destroys the original's artistic vision?
>>748837281yes it's annoying as hell and unnecessary. If you want to go take a piss you have to go find the nearest bonfire but if you actually want to truly pause the game you have to rest which respawns all the enemies. This is because the game has online components which for some reason is acceptable by /v/ despite them saying always-online requirements are a big problem for literally every other game.
>>748837281Game auto saves so you can quit any time and it'll continue where you left off. Only during PVP you can't exit (alt F4 works of course). Not that big of a deal honestly.
>>748837513>Is it worth getting the remaster over the Prepare to Die edition?PTDE costs 500 dollars btw
>>748837072And what happened to playing it because it's fun to get through the levels?
>>748837547>you want to pause?>why not just quit the game every time instead nigga are you serious
>>748837281this is the hardcore survival dark souls experience. just find a place to hide and alt tab out its not that hard
>>748837605Filtered lmao
>>748837596It costs zero dollars.
>>748837620guess i'm filtered because nothing about this game grabs me other than the fact that it's super popularguess the only fromsoft games i'll play are sekiro and maybe armored core
>>748837732Yeah if youre brown
>>748837601it is not fun. I've asked many fans of ths series to explain their enjoyment and they have nothing to say besides "get good and then you'll understand."
>>748837757k.
>>748837281You're over thinking it. Just play DS1 and if you like it try the others, DS1 isn't even hard. The difficulty comes from rushing through scenarios and being a mong. There bonfires you can rest at, and mobs only respawn once you've rested at a bonfire so once you've cleared an area you can AFK to your hearts content.
It doesn't appeal to me because I get bored playing games that consist of grey and brown where you just hit things. I like the general gameplay and combat style, since I liked Lies of P, but I wouldn't have enjoyed that game if not for the complete package including aesthetics. Elden Ring looks alright, a little dull maybe, Bloodborne looks great, but Souls just looks dull to me.
>>748837241Tbqh, I did just say it for the (You)s.
>>748832231Only Dark Souls 2.
>>748838591people get murdered over accusations like that. Stop fucking around
>>748832231>ending in under two hoursI guess they extended it
>>748838836Kill yourself :3
>>748837787>you CAN'T get a delisted game for free or you're BROWN!!! You HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO pay scalpers (who actually are brown) $500 to buy the game or else!Nice try.
>>748838836It's fucking 4chan nigger, not instagram. No one is going to murder you over that. Hell, actual pedos lurk here and I haven't heard a case of one being hunted down by an anon on here. A little jokie joke on this site ain't gonna do nothin', calm down.>>748837787>brown guy larping as white is willing to pay 9000 pesos to prove how "white" he isRace worship is the most buckbroken thing known to man and I genuinely hope you succumb to a terminal illness at some point.
>>748839012>NOO YOU UNDERSTAND I HAVE TO PLAY THE INFERIOR VERSION CUZ IM RETARDED
>>748840256you are already dead
>>748832231just play the first (or demons souls)you'll realize the whole concept is a waste of time and absolutely not fun the atmosphere is amazing thougheverbeit
>>748832231I'll wait till epic gives them away for free
>>748841743>the atmosphere is amazing thougheverbeitmaybe it was before the entire industry copied it. There is nothing amazing about a ruined world where everyone is an insane zombie.
>>748843110you're kinda right (though each area looks different and some of them are kino), but I still dig it
>>748832231But they have been free for years
>>748832231Is 3 worth grabbing?
playing ds 1-2-3 is mandatory videogame steppingstone and achievement.it will make you better at every other videogame because it has no handholding and anything goes.if you are a dumb 20year old something smartphone tiktok obsessed tumor on society than just stick to f2p shooters and mobas.
>>748836625DS2 is peak souls. That line wouldn't be a meme if there wasn't any truth to it.
>>748844152>it will make you better at every other videogame because it has no handholding and anything goes.Minecraft
>>748844152>f2p shooters and mobasBoth of those require vastly more skill than Dark Souls
>>748846105Can't really compare singleplayer difficulty to online play. Latter is decided entirely on the skill level of your opponent.
i wish das1 re-remastered actually fixed the lighting
>>748832231>>748832231don't waste your money on anything but dark souls 1. Fromslop got lucky and made a good game but it was outside their control. And their never did reiterate on this success. They don't have the skill and intellect to properly understand what made ds and das good.
>>748836625Did you get to vendrick being a hollow and his wife nashandra being the final boss yet?
